With less than four percent market share, Microsoft Edge browser is clearly not as popular as other web browsers among PC users. The Edge browser has most of the features available in third-party web browsers but lacks the huge number of extensions available for its competitors.
Edge browser prompts you to save passwords by default. While managing saved passwords is not as easy as third-party web browsers, you can easily view and delete passwords saved in Edge browser.
As pointed out earlier, Edge asks you to save passwords with default settings. If it’s not prompting you to save passwords, you have likely configured the Edge browser to not to ask to save passwords.
If Edge is not saving passwords in Windows 10, follow the given below directions to make Edge browser save passwords in Windows 10.
Note that this method is for Edge browser on Windows 10 only. It cannot help you if you are using Microsoft Edge browser on iPhone or Android.

Settings in my version of Edge doesn’t show ‘offer to save’ button.
My Edge auto ‘save password is so random as to be worthless.
It has always amazed me how all these smart developers/programmers can’t figure out simple things in these programs. That is why there are so many 2nd, 3rd party apps and solutions and why I have an Android phone and not an iPhone.
It is as if these folks have lost the ability to think through complete solutions that anticipate what is needed to make an app usable and that end users can use without a degree in programming.
I have been involved with computing since the late 60s (Remington Real Time, Magnetic drum storage) and have seen a lot of brilliant innovation. Much of what Microsoft does is not well thought through.
Having said all this, where would we be without Microsoft.

Passwords are being saved when I ask. There’s a list of them also, handy.
I came here to see if I could now save a password I earlier said ‘don’t save’ to. Still not sure how to do that.

Offer to save passwords option not existing. You never know which password is saved which is not!!! Worthless garbage.

Wrong!. Edge does not always save username and password. This is a MAJOR PROBLEM users are having and Microsoft is not addressing.
